Hello,
We are Colin and Susan the turkeys and you can adopt us!
We’re Colin and Susan, Goodheart’s famous turkey duo. I (Susan) was bought by my previous owners to be raised for Christmas. Before long, however, my quirky character had won them over and as December approached, they couldn’t bring themselves to send me for slaughter. Instead I went to live at Goodheart Farm Animal Sanctuary.
I (Colin) arrived soon after – and I’ve been following Susan around ever since. We spend our days roaming the sanctuary together, pecking at fruit from the trees – oh, and the odd shiny car! As well as being turkeys, our other duties include patrolling the yard and meeting and greeting all the sanctuary’s visitors.

Did you know?
Turkeys will stretch their legs and ruffle their wing feathers when feeling particularly comfortable.
A male’s snood (the fleshy piece of skin just above the beak) is capable of relaxing and contracting. The skin on a turkey’s face can also change colour dependent on their mood.
Turkeys are very wary of strangers and may attack or even kill an ‘alien’ member of the flock.
